Verizon Fios ONT & AX6000
Ok - I got a weird issue.... I hooked up my Orbi AX6000 directly to the ONT using a Cat7 cable. Pretty rockin you'd think, right? Not so much. Speed is actually SLOWER than if I hooked up th...
Please make a new post about your NAS connection issues.
Please mark this thread as solved so others will know.
Something to look into:
Thank you.
When you say slower, what is slower? Can you provide some numbers so we know how much slower your system is?
Also, is your ONT connection going into the Orbi's WAN port?
Sorry, this corona stuff sidetracked me...
So when I do a speedtest in my Orbi in QOS now it is usually below 500 mbps each direction (usually 300 to 400 mbps).
However, when I connect it with the Quantum Gateway first, and then forward all ports and put the Orbi in DMZ, I get usually 700 to 900 mbps on the Orbi speedtest.
It's just weird. I've also completely disconnected the Verizon Quantum Gateway and only ran the Orbi AX6000 and same results, the slower speeds. Could this just be something weird inside the Orbi?
One other "nuance" I noticed... I have a QNAP NAS. Check out the results with the different scenarios:
Quantum Gateway First: Using the same network, I can connect to the QNAP via the web (not internal network)
Orbi Direct Connected to ONT: You cannot connect via the URL. You can ONLY connect on the internal IP address (i.e. 10.0.0.15). BUT, if I am on an external network and I connect to the URL, it works and I connect to the QNAP.
It's almost as if the Orbi detects the loop and blocks it but the Quantum Gateway permitted it.
